Legoland CruiseFun Legoland activity for the whole family!After you've walked around Legoland's Miniland miniature cities, there are still MORE intricate and fascinating Lego reproductions to see! However, you won't be able to see them very well "from land," so it's time to take a relaxing Legoland Cruise around the park's man-made lake! The attractions you'll see on this boat ride are what we'll be covering on this page. It's an all-ages activity that eveyone in your group is sure to enjoy! In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of Lego structures in and around Legoland's boat-cruise lake. When you've finished your cruise, don't forget to view the popular Lego statues of Darth Vader, R2D2 and Indiana Jones which adorn the side of the pond. Highlights of the Legoland Cruise TourLego Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, and more!
In the photo on you left, you see a close-up of one of the Lake Legoland cruise boats. Before boarding, you'll wait in a shady, covered line queue area (even though the boats themselves aren't shady!) It's "standing room only" in the line area; no benches are available.Your waiting time in line will vary on how big of a crowd is at Legoland California on the day you attend AND the number of boats running. Expect a moderate wait even on off-season, uncrowded days...because only one or two boats will be running during those times. Not far from the Lego Sydney Opera House, you'll see another replica of one of the most famous of all world landmarks---the Eiffel Tower of Paris, France! Despite the "boxy" shape of each Lego brick, the Master Builders at Legoland San Diego have managed to capture the fluid beauty of this magnificent structure. Also along the shores of the lake you'll see the Lego Mount Rushmore. The Lego Mount Rushmore doesn't do justice to the truly inspirational "real" Mount Rushmore, and I was disappointed in this reproduction. While on the lake cruise, you'll see still other Lego reproductions that don't have anything to do with world monuments. You'll see large Lego elephants bathing and splashing water. And still another whimsical Lego scene where it appears that you'll be squirted with water...and then the showed suddenly quits right before you arrive! There's a large Lego octopus in an "Octopus's Garden" vignette, as well as some Lego flora and fauna spaced about the lake (for example, a Lego swan) to make the lake look alive with natural activity. After taking your Legoland Cruise...Check out Lego New England!
The US region of New England is represented with numerous Lego-brick harbor scenes. On your left, you see a New-England-style structure on a wharf flanked by made-of-Legos boats.In the picture to your right, you'll see a New England lighthouse gracing still another section of the Miniland harbor.

In the "on land" Lego cities exhibits, you'll find only cities from the USA in their miniaturized, Lego-brick form. But out on the water, you'll get to see Lego versions of some famous landmarks from around the world. On your right you see, of course, the world-famous Sydney Opera House...made brick by brick in the same incredible detail for which the Legoland master builders are famous.
The majestic Taj Mahal is often acclaimed as one of the world's most beautiful buildings. So, what happens if you can't afford the trip to India to see it? (Very few North Americans can!) Well, at least the Lego Taj Mahal sits regally along the shores of Legoland Lake for you to view!
The Lake Legoland cruise will also allow you to see several more USA landmarks that are hard to see from land. Out in Lego New York harbor stands the inspirational Statue of Liberty...well, in Lego form, that is! This is a fitting place for her to be located, as if welcoming guests to the Lego version of the United States in miniature, which is what the Miniland exhibit is all about.
